StudioSlot is a free WordPress booking plugin built specifically for salons, spas, barbers, and beauty pros — not a generic scheduler with salon features bolted on. Clients pick a service, choose their professional, and book in four taps. You confirm from your dashboard. Set up in minutes, free forever.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Bradley, and I built StudioSlot because generic booking tools make every business speak the same language. A salon, a law office, and a fingerprinting shop don't book work the same way — but they're all handed the same blank scheduler and told to configure it.
StudioSlot flips that. It's a free WordPress booking plugin built specifically for salons, spas, barbers, and beauty pros. Instead of setting up "appointment types," you add services ("Balayage," "60-Minute Massage") performed by professionals your clients can pick by name, within your hours. It feels like a salon booking system on day one because that's the only thing it's trying to be.
What's free (and stays free):
• Unlimited services, staff, and appointments
• A clean, mobile-first booking form — clients book in four taps, no account required
• Double-booking prevention and email notifications built in
It's the first product from SlotWorks — a small company building focused booking tools one industry at a time. Payments, deposits, and SMS reminders are next on the roadmap.
I'd love your feedback — especially from anyone who's run a salon or wrestled a generic scheduler into shape. What would make this a no-brainer for your business?

💎 Pixel perfection
Finally a booking plugin that doesn't feel like a calendar app with salon lipstick on it. The four-tap flow actually holds up and I had a stylist set up in under ten minutes.

@aydnjnbf "Salon lipstick on a calendar app" — I might have to steal that line, because that's exactly what I was trying to avoid. And "under ten minutes to set up a stylist" is the number I care about most. Was there any step in the setup that felt slower than it should? Always trying to shave time off onboarding.

Love that the four-tap flow actually lets clients pick both service and professional separately—most booking plugins force one or the other and it creates friction. Clean execution for a free tool too.

@enaypbab Thank you! Separating service and professional was a deliberate call — in a salon, who you book with matters as much as what, so a single dropdown always felt wrong. And keeping the core genuinely usable for free (not crippled to force an upsell) is the whole philosophy, so that means a lot. Do your clients tend to book by service first, or by their favorite pro?

love that you built it salon-first instead of just reskinning a generic scheduler, the four-tap flow for picking service and pro actually feels thought through
